"AMERICAS" TIN.
The aliened manufacture of till in tliis coutitry, as announced lu such assurhir tones by all republican papers as an evidence of the good effects of the McKiuley bill, is a fraud, a mythe, a false assertion. What has heretotore beeu turned out as tin is simply a plate manufacture abroad and dipped with a small portion of till mined in this country. Here is what a large, reliable house engaged iu the tiu trade sends out to its customers regarding the "American" tiu: i':v
OUK POSITION ON AM KKICAS TIN I'l.ATK. The uumerous inquiries made of us as to how soon we would manufacture or distribute Aniericau plates that would be of the same class or high grade of excellence as those which we are now guaranteeing, reuder it necessary that we should publicly auswer aud define oar position, which we do as follows:
Up to this writing we are not aware of auy American maker wtio cau give us the Quantity we daily require, and the all important guarantee required by this house: nor is it reasonable for ns 'o expect it at this early period.
It must lie known that mouths of time, thought aud considerable money were expended by.us before the best plates known to the American trade were put upon the market, ami we assure the trade—now as we did then— that reputation with us is paramount. We shun misrepresentations just as we avoid their results, viz: uueuviable notoriety.
As soon as we can secure American plates equal tn those we now guarantee our customers shall have them: but we wish it understood that our idea of manufacturing tin plates is not that of "dipping" a plate made elsewhere and the uso and abuse of a s'amping machine. Any one familiar with the tin plata business knows full well such a plant!?) can be erected and in operation in a few days.

INDIANA'S SCHOOL CENSUS.
The census Bulletins afford interesting read, ing for those who enjoy delving into statistics and, while there are necessarily some inaccuracies, the figures may be accepted as approximating the actual facts nearly enough to base all necessary calculations upon. In reviewing the school eurollineui for Indiana recently, we found the total number of pupils to be 507,261, or something over half a million. It was also learned that this was five thousand less than the enrollment of teu years ago, showing a loss of nearly 1 per cent., although the increase iu population during this time was almost 11 per cent. There are S, t'.fS colored pupils 4,1'.)7 males, of i.sni females. Of the white children there are 271,males, and 215,871 females. This surplus of 15.523 boys might be accounted for by the fact that so large a number of girls are educated in private schools. Ilut the private school statistics show 17,til2 pupils, of whom 0,570 are males and S,012 females the parochial schools show 23,5: ,'), of whom 15,n:W are males aud 12,591! females. Here we find a further surplusage of 1,871 boys, giving a total or 17,393 more boys than girls in the public and private schools of the State. Aud yet the roster of graduates will show that many more girls than boys complete the course of instruction.
It is generally supposed that the number of woman teachers far outnumbered the men, but the table gives the same proportion of each auioug the whites, and among the colored niue. ty male and sixty-live female teacheis.
TRUSTS.
There have been time and* again repeated maledictions agaiust the oil trust, twine trustg coliee trust, autl scores of other combination leagued together to maintain high prices and prevent competition. Noue were louder iu their denunciation of these organizations than farmers. Now farmers' trusts to raise the price of wheat are being formed in the northwest.
A circular, reciting the benefits of combinations, and urging the formation of the trust has been made public. The circular estimates the wheat crop of ISM in the United States at 500.000,000 bushels. The promoters of the fanners' Wheat trust believe that four-fifths of this wheat can be held back by the farmers for from four to eight weeks, by which time, it is thoiiL'ht, prices will have me skyward.
It makes a wonderful difference whose ox is being gored when it comes to trusts, and probably nine men out ten would favor them when therewas money it to them.
DECORATION DAT.
pla ing base ball on Decoration Day, and the students of Wabash and Del'auw are especially cited for their offense in this respect. College faculties are to be informed of this, and requested that it be not repeated. Base ball teams have played ball on Suudais in scores of cities ami do yet. If it is an offense for them to play on Decoration Day, why not on Sunday also. A great many of the orators on Decoration Day, it has been noticed, make it a poiut to lufuse a certain amount or politics in their addresses. This certainly is toreign to the solemnity aimed to be thrown around Decoration Day, and is certainly as much out of place as the base ball feature of the occasion.
WHAT THE BILLION CONGRESS MEANS. Nineteen dollars for every hour since the creation of the world up to the present time. £00 per hour since the coming of our Saviour on earth: $100 per hour since the declaration of Independence $:i,&i3 for ever hour since the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, or the commencement of the civil war: last but not least by any means, $5,753 for every hour siuce the inauguration of Benjamin Harrison up to adjournment of the present concress, or that amount iu two years $95,.i for every minute, $D'i for every second, or nearly $17 per per head for every man, woman and child in the United States. The above is worth con. templating by the young.
THK Brazil Block Coal company, a rich corporation with property of the value of §600,000, has heretofore been assessed at only C00. The new tax law will compell the company to pay hereafter on what they have instead of about a tenth part of it as heretofore. The wisdom and justice of the new law is shown in this as in scores of other cases.
COULD NOT HIDE THE PROPERTY. Hue of .he gou.1 ifecis of the new tax law was ntly illustrated at Lawieuceburg, this state, the oilier ua Pie foree banks of the town lefuse'i .o icpv,., for aH-sc-sinent a lar^e amount of peisonal prosily held by them, the old law, as they ^upp.wMd being still ill operation and which enabled them heretofore to not list the property for taxation. They were informed that the ii"\v law would fit their case exactly aud lhat they must report at once. Still refusing they were informed they could either report the properly or go to jail. This brought them to time, ami $300,000 worth of property was at once listed. Why they could avoid the listing of property a ly quicker than the mechanic, hod carrier or laboring man was not apparent to the assessors, aud the prompt manner iu which they acted in the matter is commendable.
THKHK are people who can easily be led to believe almost anything, A man named Mel* bourne at Springfield, Ohio, has for some weeks been operadug with a machine and some chemicals hy which he asserts he can draw raiu from clouds at any time. He has set several times when he is to bring the rain, but heretofore his success has not been brilliant, yet there are many who think his machine is or will be a grand success. It is not at all probable that the work by any man of drawing rain from the clouds can be accomplished, and if it could be done there would be a constant calj for hi 111 from many parts of the country. We could give him a good paying job now this portion of ludiana.
CAMPBELL'S OPPONENTS.
The fict that iov. Campbell, of Ohio, was oppose.! in his re-aomiuation by a small coterie of corrupt scoundrels of Cincinnati should endear him that much more to the honest portion of his party through the state and induce thein to labor that much more energetically to secure his re-election. His dispatch to one of them, "I demand your resignation, as you are a dishonest official," or words to that effect, will be remembered/and iudicates the spirit of the man. .v. Campbell, we judge, is one of those politicians who will do right as he understands it regardless of policy or expediency, and should be upheld in his efforts iu that line.
OHiii is a great producer of wooi, and the effect of the tariff on this commodity will cm ituite a figue iu the present campaign in that state. When MeKinley made his campaign for congress last year his bill had but recently passed, and he told the farmers that there had not yet beep time for them to feel the effects of what he had done for them, but that if they would wait a year they would find they would De getting or 1 cents per pound more on their wool. They have waited, and are now getting 2 or 3 cents per pouud less. The Ohio wool grower is a nigger fool than we think, if he will allow himself to be caught twice with the Mckinley bait.
1 HI. Minnesota authorities had the right conception of prize lighting and do not propose that such disgusting and brutal affairs shall occur in that state. Fitziuimous aud Hall, two two-legged bull dogs, had arranged for a ¥12,000 fight at St. Paul last, week, and the skum or western states known generallj as "sports," began to gather in to witness the exhibition. It did not come off. The governor of the state aud others iu authority promptly squelched the affair, as they should, and the "sports are much disappointed iu .consequeuce.
Ni-.w MIAICO, with a population of 130,000, is refused admission as a state into the L'nion becau«e its electoral vote would be democratic. Nevada, with a population of less than half of Indiauapolis, has one senator and two representatives iu congress, all republicans of course, Nevada should be takeu out of the list of I states and put bacn into the territorial conditiou as it is short iu population, and New
Mexico should be admitted as a state. That would not suit the republican gerrymander, and matters, utijuet as they are, will probably remain in their present condition,
the presumption that Ohio will hare a republican legislature at its next session scheming for the I. S. senatorship has already begun among the three republican leaders of that state, viz: Sherman, Foster and Foraker. Sherman, by having possession of the office, will be a difficult man to overthrow, beside having the most iullnence among the solid substantial men or his party, but l-'oraker is a wonderful hustler, and may make the race decidedly warm for Sherman. Foster will prob. ably he los die shuttle.
Tin secretiny of the treasury answers the complaint of the Democratic and independent I I'ress agaiust the billion-dollar congress, 13' I

appropriated by the billion-dollar congress raised, the income of the "billionaires" or the hard earnings of the fanners and laborers'.' An investigation will plainly show the inquisiti\e mind that the owners of the billions and the men who pay the UIXHS for congress to spend are different persons.
Sii.mk correspondent who has lately visited James (i. Blaine says that he has Bright'* Disease of the Kidneys, a disease that is incurable. It looks like his party was more troubled with that disease than he, judging from the conduct of its leaders for months.
Drin.KY and ijuay will neither, it is asserted, remain with the national republican committee next year. As the party is prolific in scoundrels of like instinct there will perhaps be little difficulty in supplying their places.
O.VK thing that will cast a gloom over the otherwise cheerful prospects of tjov. Campbell's re-election in Ohio is that the Cincinnati Knquirer gives indications of supporting him.

S11CIDE HY AMJKX1A, I he Terrible Agony Does Not Prevent lttt t'se, No poison brings death with more maddening agony than ammonia, but that fact oies not seem to discourage the suicide. 1 tie man Harrowilz, who deliberately swall#\\ed a fatal dose of the drug in New York recently, is only one of the many who have gone the ammonia route to death in spile of Hie excruialing pain. Dr. Ulyth has recorded thirty cases of aiunuinia poisoning in the small London district of which he is health officer: Professor Mitchel mentions tv\eutj-two cases, and four have occured during the short time Dr. Jenkins has been connected with the corouer's office in New York.
Cases of slow psisoning from ammonia are of constant occurrence among men who work iu its manufacture, or even in decomposing substances which give it off iu considerable quantities. Ammonia, slowly and from day to day take» into the system, causes the complexion to lose its freshness, aud the skin of men who yet heavily impregnated with it has a disagreeably blotched aud discolorod appearance.
Taken into the stomach from day to day iu even the small quantities used to adulterate food, suck as baking powder, it not only injures the complexion it attacks the liniug of the stomach, and is the source of much general ill health.
The recent rapid iuoreaie in the use of ammonia for various purposes, and the consequent increase in its manufacture, have made it oue of the ist easily obtained poisons and, although everybody is familiar with it in some form, there is a surprising amount of ignorance of its dangerous inanities. Its use as an adulterant in any food preperation is simply a crime, and as a crime should be punished.
